If I remember correctly, roger64 is an Arch Linux user who compiles sigil from git via my Arch User Repository package. So the question becomes instead:

Is the proposed PageEdit something I should be packaging for my Linux distro too? How is it intended to be distributed -- as a plugin? If so, will it be able to pick up the binary from $PATH?

PageEdit is not a plugin. PageEdit is a simple standalone application the uses QtWebEngine. Once our engine branch replaces master, we would expect Sigil users to use "open with" to launch it with an xhtml page to do much of what BookView mode once did.

Interestingly, PageEdit might be useful to some calibre users and for some simple web development.

We are still working on both to reduce the minimum requirement from Qt 5.12.x to Qt 5.9.x (primarily dealing with the web-inspector internal api which was introduced in Qt 5.11.x.) Also neither the engine branch nor PageEdit has complete translations yet as we only use one base.ts resource on Transifex at a time.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

BTW, PageEdit uses cmake too and should probably build out of the box on any system that supports building Sigil and uses Qt 5.12.x like Arch.

As KevinH has already mentioned, Sigil 0.9.15 won't depend on PageEdit, but many users of older versions will probably want to install it to replicate the functionality of the Book View window.

You have two options:

a) Make a command decision and declare PageEdit a required dependency, even though it isn't strictly required. (The time it takes to build PageEdit is negligible.)
b) Make PageEdit an optional Sigil package and create a separate package for it.

If you're going to package it, I'd probably make it, and Sigil, an optdepends of each other (or at least make PageEdit an optdepends of Sigil). Beyond that, it's already pretty-well set up as a standard make/make insta!l cmake project.

Thanks to the Sigil team for this new version.

Question, I noticed already on 9.13 that it's no longer possible to re-order open tabs by dragging them; is this deliberate? If it's not deliberate, is it possible to put it back in future versions? I use this often to keep my css tab next to the current active xhtml tab whilst still having (an)other xhtml tab(s) open for reference / final editing / etc., or for easily comparing 2 xhtml tabs, or 2 css files before deleting one, or other cases.

If there's something in the new code that prevents it, I'll just have to get used to it, but if it can be restored it really can be useful sometimes.

It was a deliberate decision. Reordering tabs with this version (and others) of Qt can occasionally result in crashes. We thought it best to prevent crashes by default.

The good news is that if you really want the feature, and you're willing to take the risk, we've included an option to override this behavior by manually creating an environment variable. The bad news is that I can't remember exactly what the variable name is offhand (having this stuff in a wiki or something would be handy, huh @BetterRed ).

I'll look up the particulars and get back to you.

EDIT: the environment variable name is SIGIL_ALLOW_TAB_MOVEMENT
Create the variable and give it any value you want (1, True, whatever). It only needs to be set to work.

Thanks very much for the information and explanation. I like this feature, but if it might cause crashes, I think I'll just learn to live without it. Thanks again for all the hard work.

In order to cause the tab movement crash, you really need to almost flick the tab or drag the tab back and forth quickly and repeatedly. An occasional normal speed drag and drop of the tab should be reasonably safe if it is enabled.

Soonish (2 weeks or so) but we need to work on getting it to build under Qt 5.9.x so that it can be used on Linux distributions that do not use the very latest Qt 5.12.x.

@Doitsu, @DiapDealer -- I can tell that PageEdit is not directly integrated with Sigil as of now (and I have built it from a git checkout and played around with using it), so it would seem more like multiple independent tools that *happen* to be things where people who use one probably want the other as well -- but the same thing might be said of Sigil and calibre.

Principally what I was wondering was whether any closer integration was planned. For example, an analogy could be brought to the FlightCrew plugin (which bundles a heavy binary in the distributable, rather than attempting to find one on the system before e.g. downloading it from github and checking the hash).

If not, then I guess my current plan is just to package it up as "another useful application". I could be convinced to add it as an optdepends of Sigil...

The only integration now is the PageEdit knows how to insert sigil split markers into the text. It could easily be used to do something similar if calibre uses split markers. Sigil users may set it to be used with open-with. Sigil may in the future add an action to have F2 (or whatever the user selects) launch a preferred external xhtml editor set by preferences.

Other than that they are independent.
